Summer 2009 was the beginning of a Design & Intervention program aimed at supporting ADXTUR (the Agency for the Development & Tourism in Aldeias do Xisto) by the creation of a platform in which, through creativity & design, ideas and possibilities for the sustainable development of inland Portugal could be explored and discussed.

Taking the form of interdisciplinary design workshops this August, the platform created a meeting point between the local population and several international designers.

Design & Intervention at ’Aldeias do Xisto’, Portugal is an exhibition about and from this platform displaying its work in progress as an interactive archive.
